University of Victoria professor grieves
after being removed from committee
AFTER THE chair of a committee at the Univer-
sity of Victoria found out the identity of a commit-
tee member's husband, the professor was told to
leave the board due to a "reasonable perception"
of bias.
The presidential appointment committee
(PAC) consisted of 20 employees, including one
from each of the university's departments, who
were nominated by their departments.
Lin Cai had worked in the department of elec-
trical and computer engineering since 2005, and
she joined the committee in early 2017. She was
married to Jianping Pan, a member of the com-
puter science department who was suspended
by university president Jamie Cassels for 30 days
without pay, because of "a finding of fairly serious
culpability."
On Feb. 1, 2017, two other board members in-
formed Julia Eastman, university secretary, they
had concerns about Cai's inclusion on the board.
